I would like to point out that "photo realistic 3d" in Flash is not exactly possible. Especially, seeing as this is your first 3D project, I feel obligated to inform you of this.
Most of the better looking "3D" sites done with Flash, use a mix of PaperVision and optical illusions of rendered animation (i.e. after effects pieces) and dovetail them together. Importing 3D models to use in AS3 through pv3d, is not exactly fast. Models have to have a low polygon count otherwise your fps is going to be horrible.
